Why does the USSA subsidize Israeli Single Payer Health Care?
I've asked that question too.
Now I wonder the real reason NBC, in this age of the internet, insisted on a delayed broadcast. Why not repeat it in the evening if they must?
I wonder if Big Insurance paid to insure this celebration of a nation with health care for all, was never seen by Americans who have no clue what they are missing.

yep. Wonder no more.
This Is the USSA....;}
As CNN spent over 5 min Top of the Hour (I stopped tracking after that;) on Romney and the Plight of Israel.
"That means that the European debts are essentially unpayable. Without real growth they are bound to become even more so with every passing year, concentrating resources ever more in the hands of an ever smaller number of people. And of course, this will even worsen when oil production ceases to stagnate and begins to decline.
At some point somebody will have to emulate Valdemar IV (king of Denmark (.....Those familiar with the history of Denmark will remember, for instance, that Christopher II of Denmark pawned nearly his entire kingdom to German magnates between 1320 and 1332. Yet Denmark still exists and is still a kingdom. You see, states have an enormous advantage over corporations : they generally command the loyalty of their subjects and can therefore tax and draft them. That is what Christopher’s successor, Valdemar IV, did.")........ , default on his debt or leave the Euro to inflate his way out of it. Bankers and traders won’t be amused but will quickly learn that money doesn’t command loyalty. Those who won’t be able to run will then have an interesting discussion with a court... or a lynch mob.
The problem is that the European administration cannot take this decision. It is not a political body, it cannot change its policies, and those are liberal in nature. The first rule of a free market is that debts must be paid, no mater the costs and the consequences, and it is a rule it cannot break.
Nations states will have to do it, therefore, either together in some grand conference, or more probably alone, after the crisis has put some radical into power. When this will happen, the European Union will simply vanish as the USSR did after the August Coup and the Belavezha Accords. Those who still nurture the dream of a political Europe, whether it be the Europe of Regions of my own political family or the Europe as civilization of the volkish far right will have to accept, as I did, that Europe has become an hollow shell and that time has run out. It is around nation states, not necessarily the ones we know by the way, that Europe will have to face the long descent, until they too dissolve."
